Dallas, Texas

About

THERE ARE MORE THAN 16 MILLION CHILDREN GROWING UP IN POVERTY IN THE UNITED STATES. These statistics are not a reflection of our children’s potential. Kids growing up in poverty can and do achieve at the highest levels. Instead, these statistics reflect the systemic lack of equity for kids in low-income communities. There are numerous forces behind this injustice—racism, outdated policies, lack of resources, and much more—so there isn’t just one simple fix. To make things right we must come together as students, teachers, principals, activists, social entrepreneurs, politicians, and all others to disrupt the causes of injustice and create solutions. It’s not just the lives of individual children at stake—this affects all of us. And it’s the responsibility of all of us to change things. Our mission is to enlist, develop, and mobilize as many as possible of our nation's most promising future leaders to grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity and excellence. We recruit remarkable and diverse individuals to become teachers in low-income communities. They commit to teach for two years and are hired by our partner public schools across the country. During these two years they are called corps members. We train and support corps members in the practices of great teachers and leaders. With hard work, perseverance, and strong partnerships with their students, students’ families, and communities, corps members can dramatically increase the opportunities available to their students in school and in life. Corps members don’t just teach their students, they learn from them. At the end of two years, they use those lessons to choose their path forward. Many stay in the classroom. Others move into politics, school leadership, nonprofit work, advocacy, and more. All of their paths matter because together they form a network—connecting, expanding, and strengthening the movement to give all kids access to a great education.

Kelly Czyzniejewski

1st year TFA Corps Member

I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools. This summer I will be participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas. I can't wait for my first year with Teach for America.

Tatum Hammond

2nd Year TFA Corps Member

Hello friends, family and educational advocates! If I haven't gotten the opportunity to meet you, I would love to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tatum Hammond. I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona and recently graduated from the University of Arizona (Bear Down and EV)! Last year I moved to Dallas, Texas to work for Teach for America! I teach 7th grade reading and writing at The Young Men's Leadership Academy at Fred F. Florence Middle School. During this time I am also pursuing a masters degree in Education from Southern Methodist University. I am extremely excited to continue this adventure and cannot wait for the school year to begin! Being that Teach for America focuses on providing an excellent education in low-income communities that often times do not receive what should be an equitable opportunity; my classroom is in need of a few things. If you are able to help me in providing for my students, any support would be extremely appreciated and valued (It is tax deductible!) Anything you can do to help me spread the word to continue raising awareness and support would be so wonderful and greatly appreciated! Thank you for all of your support, advice, and love throughout this journey so far! In case you would like to hear more, below is an additional blurb about Teach for America and the journey I am embarking on: I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools.
